             G                D
So tell me when did it start falling apart?
A               Em
Everything that I know
 G                D
Hitting me hard, caught me off guard
Where did all the time go?

 G                D
Days are getting colder
         A              Em
When I think of getting older
      G              D           A Em
I go back to when I had no doubts
               G                  D
Thought those times would last forever
        A                Em
Took a good look in the mirror
        G             D      A Em
Better get my shit together now

 G           D               A
Wish that I could slow this down
      Em         G
I gotta face it now
          D           A
Wish you were still around

Chorus:
    Em       G                D
So tell me when did it start falling apart?
A               Em
Everything that I know
 G                D
Hitting me hard, caught me off guard
  A                Em
Where did all the time go?
G             D         A          Em
 I can feel those easy days slip away as
 G              D
Memories fade, nothing's the same
  A              Em
Guess I'd better act my age

Filled with innocence
But lately nothing's making sense
I try to get it right but don't know how
Took it all for granted
Guess I didn't understand it
They say that youth is wasted on the young

Chorus:
So tell me when did it start falling apart?
Everything that I know
Hitting me hard, caught me off guard
Where did all the time go?
I can feel those easy days slip away as
Memories fade, nothing's the same
Guess I'd better act my age

   G        D            A
I miss the days when we were younger
        G     D             A
'Cause now I feel like I'm going under
 G       D              A
Somehow time slipped through our fingers
 G                D              A
Yeah, I miss the days, miss the days
      A
When we were younger
 G                D              A
Yeah, I miss the days, miss the days

Chorus:
So tell me when did it start falling apart?
Everything that I know
Hitting me hard, caught me off guard
Where did all the time go?
I can feel those easy days slip away as
Memories fade, nothing's the same
Guess I'd better act my age
